Eggs are one of the best complete proteins there is.
Eggs don't raise your cholesterol, saturated fat does.
The egg scare was due to a poorly done study in the seventies, and it has taken nearly forty years to shake the stigma.
Eggs are a great addition to any serious lifters diet, and are very healthy.
I eat about a dozen eggs a week, I prefer the omega 3 eggs from egglands best.

I refuse to believe that eating whole eggs is bad for you. Humans have been eating whole eggs for longer than recorded history. The yolk is what the baby chick feeds on in a fertilized egg, thus it is full of most of the nutrients in the egg. Eating egg whites only is just low everything, and low doesn't necessarily mean better. I also have eaten raw eggs on several occasions and am probably going to make it a daily thing just out of pure convenience.

According to this cooked egg protein digests at a rate of about 90% while raw egg protein only digests at about 51%. This brings up an interesting thought about using liquid eggs since they are pasteurized(thus cooked) meaning that they would be a superior alternative to raw eggs for addition to protein shakes or to be drank standalone for protein.

I remember reading something about eating many raw eggs on a regular basis causing lutein deficiency.

What do you think about eggs? How important is the egg yolk and how many egg yolks are too much?

as already hit, the yolk is very important - did you know among other wonders in the yolk a dozen egg yolks has about 1g of arachidonic acid? same as xfacor. it oxidizes if you pan fry or scramble them, but if you hard boil you get it all.

How many is too many? no such thing outside of total calorie count. 3 dozen whole eggs a day as a dozen each of your 3 main meals would be totally fine, there is 0 decent science supporting any risk from that, if anything it would help optimize your hormone levels.

I think you'd just get really sick of eating eggs if you ate that many

Eggs are key to building solid muscle. Has everything you need for an all day digesting protein. I take a cup of the flavored muscle egg yolks every morning for a slow digesting protein through out the day. Check them out kinda pricey but worth it. Muscleegg.com
